Mike and Molly and Baby at Advent

December 9

John 1:14

For each one of us Christmas means something a little different. What is important is that the Glory of Christmas be real to each one of us. What is your favorite part of Christmas, decorating the tree, singing carols, the smell of special foods being cooked, opening presents? They're all part of the Glory of Christmas.

Tune: Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high,
Singing sweetly through the night,
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their brave delight.
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.

Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why these songs of happy cheer?
What great brightness did you see?
What glad tidings did you hear?
Gloria in excelsis Deo,
Gloria in excelsis Deo.
